DSC and HEE release toolkit on work experience

Opportunities for work experience in dental practices are a crucial way of encouraging the next generation of dentists and dental nurses, among other professions.

Dental schools know that the arranging and hosting a work experience programme can seem daunting in light of the complexity of running a dental practice, so in collaboration with Health Education England we have produced a toolkit which dental practices can draw from in arranging their programmes. It contains tips, advice and testimonies from those who have run successful programmes.

The document is called ‘Work experience – a toolkit for dental practices’, and it is available from the Health Education England website. It is relevant to dental practices across the UK.
